Changing Habits - Changing Lives

Slighty different topic and angle for this episode. More than half of my coaching clients are from a sales background and it never suprises me when they say they have had sales training but still struggle with selling.

So, here is my few cents worth of what I have found over the years in sales and learned from my clients on why the standard sales training approach doesn't work for a large percentage of sales people.

Our understanding about sleep has grown over the last couple of decades. There is a lot more going on when we sleep. Getting a good night's sleep is crucial to having a good day and allowing our mind to be clearer. Not to mention the preventative and maintenence measures the brain and body takes each time we sleep to stave off potentially harmful degenerative conditions.

I chat with The Sleep Fixer - Frances Taylor - on how sleep well and some of the preventative measures which happen when we sleep.

Listen and sleep well tonight...and every night!

My guest Kirsteen Williamson-Guinn helps people rebuild their confidence after a short or extended break from work. Things are never quite the same when getting back into work after some time away and one of the things which takes a hit is our confidence.

The Sunday Short episode to focus on one thing you can do this week to start building a new habit and make changes to your life and work.

I look at the your start and end time for your working day.

You've probaby heard the saying "Eat the frog!" it's a metaphor for doing the tough thing you have for the day.

But do you really have to 'eat the frog' every day, first thing?

What if you are just not in the ideal place to do this?

Do you manage to eat the frog each day? What works for you?

Constructed Development...this was new to me. A way to understand how we learn and develop. Borne out a PhD study Dr Darren Stevens goes through what he observed about how we learn and develop. The episode was intended to look at adults mainly but we also delved into how we can help our children learn, develop, and be thinkers rather than just answer questions.

We don't spend enough time or effort in understanding how we work so we can figure out the best way to make changes and develop which suits us best.

Let me know what you think!

One thing you can do to help you make your goal a reality!

In earlier episodes - at the start of this podcast - I coverd the science behind habits and also how long it takes for a habit to form. In this episode I take about repetition of a habit and how the number of times you repeat a habits affects whether it becomes 'automated'.

A question was raised about things you can repeat several times in a day and others which you may only be able to action once a day ad how that affects when an activity/action becomes a habits.

Hope it gives clarification!
